Store description
Revival Creek Books – Authenticated First Editions Welcome to Revival Creek Books, based in Roswell, Georgia. We're collectors first—this work exists because we love books, not to get rich. We specialize in authenticated first editions, with particular focus on literary fiction, poetry, and Pulitzer Prize winners from the 20th century forward. Every first edition we list has been rigorously vetted: we cross-reference number lines, copyright page statements, dust jacket details, publisher conventions, and condition against established dealer standards. If we're uncertain about a detail, we say so. What You Can Expect: Authenticated first editions with detailed condition reports and publication history Transparent assessment: We flag dust jacket marriages, reprint variants, and any doubts we have Serious attention to provenance: Number lines, copyright page language, publisher-specific coding—these matter, and we document them A collector's eye: We're looking for books we'd want to own ourselves Our Approach: This isn't a high-volume operation. We approach rare books as stewards of literary history. We're comfortable saying "no" to a deal if something doesn't feel right, and we'd rather spend time getting authentication correct than move inventory quickly. Questions about any listing? We welcome detailed inquiry and are happy to provide additional photos, comparative market data, or authentication notes. — The Revival Creek Books Team…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
